A few months ago, I contacted a local LA muscled provider for a session. The guy was dismissive, sarcastic and rude AF. Like REALLY rude and condescending. Not just cocky as part of the whole alpha thing. (I’m alpha too).
No way was I going to engage that total jerk further. I hadn’t shared any details about myself.
Fast forward to a few days ago…I had been away from my IG for a few months. I log in and find a message from the very same guy. He sent me a message, “You are so fuckin’ HOT. Let’s fuck.”
Of course, he didn’t know that I was the one willing to pay for a session just a few months ago. His loss. 
 
 
 
 

I would say that any rate which was worth it to a client is worth it to them. For the providers who have premium rates and can sustain that, then clearly they are worth that rate (if not more) to their clients.
More power (and orgasms) to them.
 
 

Yes… actually it is very different from any other job and the scope of skills required is complex and many~ It’s not just about beating the sheets~ Keep in mind: no pension plan or retirement plans offered, no group health insurance coverage, paid sick leave, there is high non recoverable overhead, no workman’s Comp… no raises, etc~
 Escorting Providers provides an extensive array of services~ Those who are strictly sex workers provided their own set of services~ 
 Consider that different people provide different services and the needs of their Clients are vast and varied~ 
 
 While Prostitution is illegal in many parts of the states, Escorting is not… neither is being a model in adult pornography~ Each of these are different services~ 
 
 It’s naive to make an assumption that what Providers provide in the adult services industry is simply, exclusively  “sex”~

hey all,
so I will jump right into this slight issue I am having. long story short... business has been slowing. I still have my regulars (which I am very happy about!) but as far as new inquiries are concerned, things have really dried up. I'm sure Covid has alot to do with that but I was looking to begin advertising on more sites anyways so this may just be the push I need. My question is..... I am only advertising as of now on thebestflex. I am not super familiar with other websites at this point in time. If you were me looking to get new clients and the most eyeballs seeing your ad what would be your next place to start advertising? where do you look for guys yourself ? rentmen?
P.S Everyone i've met with has really liked the service they have received so it's not me as cocky as that may sound ha. If I had to guess id say 50% have done at the minimum 1 repeat. I really do enjoy what I do, the people I meet, and do a good job for everyone I meet with. always discreet, on time, and hygienic of course. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Very nice guy, met him in Atlanta.

Really most everyone has been respectful and upstanding individuals~ Of the few placed on the “red flag”, “block” or “psychopath” list, they have presented themselves with one or a combination of the following: anger management/control  issues, drug issues, stalker issues~
 That applies to escorts/providers as well~
 That behavior is unacceptable and often inexcusable~ Intentional harassment, intent to harm physically, psychologically and/or emotionally is not okay and is not justifiable~  Holding someone emotionally, physically, psychologically hostage, bullying, blackmailing are all inappropriate~ 
 
  I’ve seen instances where Providers encountered those who were under the impression that Providers are door mats~  
 The underestimating clients were often surprised when the carpet was pulled from under their feet~ (It’s assuming to think providers lack self respect and won’t stand up for themselves or are unable).

I suspect that some clients think that if they get nasty and attack escorts who have raised their rates, they can intimidate escorts in general into lowering their rates.  Of course, that's ridiculous, but that won't stop these clients.  They're on a mission!

Let me quote.... Myself.
Cost of living is going up, especially in major cities.  Rent, gas, utilities, groceries.  Inflation is real.  Perhaps not '80s real, but it's here and ticking upward.
This means every service will have more inherent costs and will likely up their prices.
In terms of escorts, how much is enough?  Well, that's a per-person issue.  It's incredibly tough to sit here and judge what someone 'deserves' to charge when you don't know all of the particulars.
Ultimately, clients have to make their own judgement call without making it personal.  If the price is too high, just say thank you and move on.  There's no need to come here and get super passive-aggressive about what you were quoted.  There's also no need to come here and use an escort's pricing structure as an excuse to make ugly personal comments.

Me personally, I do think a little boost is needed, but I also think charging an extra 200 dollars is quite dramatic. Cause as someone else said does a 400 service make it better than a 250? I’d like to hear more. 

I wouldn’t say I see entitlement in clients. Some are demanding, fair enough, they’re paying so I’m fine with them asking for things, as long as it’s done politely.
Occasionally I get a client who won’t or can’t engage with me as a person and I think that’s their problem not mine. They’d get a better session if they looked me in the eye and talked about what they like but they seem unable to do that. It’s usually because of their sexual hang ups and shame about being gay or something like that. Those clients tend to only engage with me as an object for them to relieve sexual frustration. I don’t mind it but it’s their loss.
The flakes who book and then just don’t show up without any explanation or apology get blocked for ever. Their number is also shared with other sex workers. So they give me hassle once but that’s all. If someone apologised and had a fair excuse they get one chance.
But overall I have to say 95% of my clients are absolute gentlemen (and a few women). I guess I’m lucky I’m not attracting troublesome clients. I’m also very accommodating so that might be part of the story. 

I think communication is a big thing that a lot of people just lack. Like stated above, clients will book and then not show up, call, or even text back and leave you hanging. I’ve been with clients, who have seem a bit angry at times and take whatever frustration they have going on out on me and I usually don’t pay it any mind.  All around I think people should just learn to communicate and treat people the way you wanna be treated. 

One of my favorite topics! Entitlement, smugness, lack of consideration for others, an attitude of "I'm paying so whatever I say, goes" or "I'm the customer and the customer is always right". You can find a little bit of that obnoxious childish sentiment on here, in fact.

I can handle arrogance and ego, to a point, until it goes into the territory of entitlement and insult to others. 

I also usually don't give second chances to flakes/no shows either. That kind of goes into the category of "lack of consideration for others", but I get it.  People can panic and be anxious around something as vulnerable as sexuality. I'll cut those people some slack. But if you didn't show up because you "found someone else" or just changed your mind, then no. The least a person can do is message if they are canceling. I'm not wasting my time on you again if you couldn't even give me the bare minimum courtesy of telling me that you're canceling at the last minute. 

Very rarely have I regretted an appointment. I'll be pretty quick in detecting the entitlement right away and not even entertain meeting such characters in the first place. The flakes are harder to detect, but once you flake then nah not again. So my zero tolerance for flaking and entitlement has done me pretty well in preventing appointments I'll end up regretting. My sanity and self-respect are worth whatever amount they're willing to pay. The power to decide who I meet is one of the greatest perks of this job. 

Mind blown!  I'm in the Philly area and recently saw them both listed but assumed it was one guy with two profiles.  I'd chatted with Furry_Wolf before but never got a chance to meet up.  Looking at the reviews of both guys it is clear that exceptional service runs in the family!  

Well said!

Per annual tradition:

Revenue increased 39% from 2020.

46% of 2021 revenue came from the year’s top three clients, up from 39% in 2020.

We’re related but I will say one of the things that we both cannot stand, is people acting weird and the constant sexual questions about us. At the end of the day were brothers, it’s the same as if anyone had a sibling, you don’t have sex with them correct ? I understand the whole twin fantasy, but that’s not happening in this department. They’re just boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed, and respected.

100% to this!  When I get to London @Jamie21is first on my list!!

This subject is brought up monthly. Perhaps it's time to roll them all into one gigantic, comical masterthread. 
Inflation, especially for escorts living in major cities, is a reality.  Clients might not like it, but rates will continue to rise as cost of living increases. 
$300/hr is quite normal. $350-400 for a stellar, well-reviewed guy isn't unreasonable.

Yay! I look forward to meeting them if that’s the case. Welcome to London 🙂

I suspect that there are some clients here who already have you pencilled into their diaries for their next trip to London, but I could be misreading the room.
